Re: OT? IDE flash drive in OLD pc.

On Thu, 20 Dec 2007 11:20:37 -0800 (PST), I said, "Pick a card, any
card" and Didi <dp@xxxxxxxxxxx> instead replied:

Does anyone know of an IDE flash drive that will work in an old pc (pre LBA
capable)?

What flavor of PC is it? Is it an XT? 286? 386? 486? Pentium? Does
it even have an IDE port? You've left a lot of questions before you
can expect an answer.

To those familiar with ATA - who are the obvious addressees of the
query - the question is clear enough.

Where did you see any addressees? I must have missed that. When
posting a technical question to a technical forum it is customary to
give all the details required for a qualified answer.

You seem to forget that this newsgroup is searchable on Google
Groups meaning that without the qualifying parameters I requested
the thread is useless as far as newsgroup conventions goes. Unless,
of course, all details are provided in the query.

Let's not forget about why newsgroups are here to begin with.
